Jan 23 at 10:54 comment added VLAZ @DBS hi. hi. hello. hey.
Jan 23 at 10:33 comment added DBS For people who regularly use chat, a week+ later, how is this going?
Jan 23 at 3:50 comment added starball Mod @BhargavRao I for one have no idea what you're talking about :) but it's okay™! I'm sure the trolls will always remind us why we can't have nice things.
Jan 22 at 19:30 comment added Bhargav Rao Have we finally reached the point where no mod on the Stack Overflow team remembers Sumer/Sufi and why we had to disable avatars for low rep users in chat?

Jan 13 at 1:10 comment added user1937198 Having some idea of what you would consider a failure condition worthy of reverting this might help constructively engage with it.
Jan 13 at 1:08 comment added user1937198 @Berthold what would it take for you to consider reversing the change? Complete abandonment of so chat? Saying its not irreversible is all very well, but if the company doesn't apparently care about the problems, then it doesn't seem to matter.
Jan 13 at 1:08 comment added starball Mod a friendly reminder / encouragement to keep responses here constructive, and refrain from overly-generalizing, accusatory blanket statements.
Jan 12 at 23:42 comment added einpoklum "Got feedback?" <- Why would that matter? It's not like you (SE Inc.) take feedback seriously. Specifically, on this matter, you asked for feedback, got a massive rejection and panning for the idea, and just went ahead with it. Why should we even bother giving feedback?
Jan 12 at 23:25 comment added Karl Knechtel "We feel confident this is a shared goal with the existing community. Indeed, many of you have spoken about how you took your first steps on Stack Overflow in chat." This only works for people who come in caring about what the site is trying to accomplish and excited about helping make that happen. You cannot filter for these qualities effectively without first fixing the communication of those goals to new users.
Jan 12 at 23:23 comment added Karl Knechtel Has anyone on staff tried reading and using the rooms as they are now?

Jan 12 at 20:48 comment added user400654 Ah, I see, the old one is invite only, which avoids a certain kind of drama that can occur with moderation actions.
Jan 12 at 20:45 comment added user400654 i haven't seen any notification of a new ro lounge, how are we intended to find out about it? just this post? the existing one was kinda just a "hey we're inviting all RO's" and and invite went out, but it was intended for the very purpose this new room is, could probably just do away with one or the other/merge
Jan 12 at 20:32 comment added Berthold StaffMod @TylerH Great question. We didn't want to disrupt any existing RO<>mod flows, especially since there may be an uptick in the need for those lines of communication. And we did want the lounge to be a public space as well, where anyone can learn about opportunities and challenges. It's not just about feedback to the company (which can happen in many places), it's ideally about strategizing and sharing tips with one another.
Jan 12 at 20:09 comment added TylerH Why the new Chat Room Owners Lounge? Are y'all aware of chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/200251 I know it's restricted but established room ROs is probably where useful feedback is gonna come from, not random new room ROs. That room was specifically set up for this kind of conduit, albeit w/ mods, not CMs (but that'd be easy enough to change just by y'all dropping in there)

Jan 12 at 19:51 comment added Thom A Mod To ROs, I just want to note that as an active moderator in chat, I'll make attempts to be about in the RO Lounge when I'm about. This isn't a permission to ping me if there's problems (please use your flags for that still), but that as someone who's experienced with the pros and cons of the Lobby, I am happy to discuss things and what we've learned and offer ideas and feedback.
Jan 12 at 19:43 comment added MisterMiyagi "We want to press that this change is NOT irreversible." That’s like a surgeon telling you not to worry, they can always pull out the knife again if a cut goes wrong.
